"The same liberties that ensure a free society make the innocent vulnerable to those who prevent rights and privileges and commit senseless and cruel acts. Those precious liberties include free speech, freedom to assemble, freedom of liberties, access to public places, the right to bear arms and freedom from constant surveillance. We are not willing to sacrifice these rights because of the acts of maniacs."

Harriet Miers in Texas lawyer magazine, when asked about the Texas tower shootings.

Sounds pretty strong on the 2A to me.

...Those precious liberties include free speech, freedom to assemble, freedom of liberties, access to public places, the right to bear arms and freedom from constant surveillance....

I read that statement last week. It's not convincing.

Reason -- that statement is from 1992 and what's been 'leaked' thus far it seems her values and 'beliefs' change with the prevailing winds of the time.

First she's a Catholic then shes not.
Then she's a Dem and then she's not. (ha-ha-ha)
First she's pro-choice, then she's anti-abortion, and then she's ... MUTE.
Then she.... etc, etc.

And I wouldn't - don't consider this reassuring: "They show a concern for the rule of law—and an emphasis on collegiality, compromise and determination..."

So she emphasizes "collegiality and compromise", oh-boy! That's exactly what we DON'T need. Compromise on the Constitution? No thank you, been there, done that.

Lastly as much as I consider the 2nd of paramount importance, I want to know her views on the Commerce Clause and its limitations over Congress, or lack of it. As that little clause is Congress' ticket to writing all its ijit laws as 99% of all laws are based on the effect on commerce. Including the recently passed Homosexual Hate Crime Law in the senate. So if you limit that (or strictly interpret it) you limit Congress' power over us.
